Answers and Mark Scheme:
答案与评分标准：
(a) Diagram should include: animal cell – nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria; plant cell – as above plus cell wall, large permanent vacuole, chloroplasts.
Differences: 1) Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, animal cells do not. 2) Plant cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis, animal cells lack chloroplasts. (Accept other valid differences such as shape – plant cells are more regular, or the presence of a large central vacuole.)
(a) 图中应包括：动物细胞——细胞核、细胞质、细胞膜、线粒体；植物细胞——上述结构以及细胞壁、中央大液泡、叶绿体。
不同点：1) 植物细胞有纤维素构成的坚硬细胞壁，动物细胞没有。2) 植物细胞含有用于光合作用的叶绿体，动物细胞无叶绿体。（可接受其他正确差异，如形状——植物细胞较为规则，或存在中央大液泡。）
(b) Palisade mesophyll cells are tightly packed and columnar, located near the upper leaf surface to maximise light absorption. They contain a large number of chloroplasts, which can move within the cell to optimise light capture. The thin cell walls allow rapid diffusion of CO₂ to the chloroplasts.
(b) 栅栏叶肉细胞排列紧密、呈柱状，位于叶片上表面附近，以最大限度吸收光能。细胞含有大量叶绿体，叶绿体可在细胞内移动以优化光捕捉。其薄细胞壁有利于 CO₂ 快速扩散至叶绿体。

(a) 向食物样品中滴加几滴碘液。若出现蓝黑色，则表明有淀粉存在。
(b) Protein (or peptide) is present. The biuret reagent contains copper(II) sulfate and sodium hydroxide; the alkaline Cu²⁺ ions react with peptide bonds to form a violet-coloured complex.
(b) 含有蛋白质（或多肽）。双缩脲试剂含硫酸铜(II)和氢氧化钠；在碱性条件下，Cu²⁺ 与肽键反应生成紫色的络合物。
(c) Glycogen is a branched polymer of α-glucose with many 1,4- and 1,6-glycosidic links, making it compact and soluble; it functions as a short-term energy store in animals and fungi. Cellulose is an unbranched polymer of β-glucose with 1,4-glycosidic bonds, forming long straight chains cross-linked by hydrogen bonds to give high tensile strength; it is a structural component of plant cell walls.
(c) 糖原是由α-葡萄糖通过大量 1,4- 和 1,6-糖苷键连接而成的分支聚合物，结构紧密且可溶；在动物和真菌中作为短期储能物质。纤维素是由β-葡萄糖通过 1,4-糖苷键连接而成的直链聚合物，链间通过氢键交联，赋予其高抗张强度；是植物细胞壁的结构组分。
3. Enzymes and Factors Affecting Activity | 酶及其活性影响因素
Question 3: (a) Define the term 'active site' and explain why the lock-and-key model is used to describe enzyme action. (3 marks)
(b) An experiment was performed to measure the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction at different pH values. The results are shown: pH 2 – rate 2, pH 4 – rate 8, pH 6 – rate 20, pH 7 – rate 25, pH 8 – rate 24, pH 10 – rate 5, pH 12 – rate 0. Plot these data on a graph and suggest the optimum pH for this enzyme. Explain the shape of the curve at pH values above the optimum. (4 marks)
(c) State two ways in which the rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction can be increased at low substrate concentration without changing the enzyme concentration, and explain why each works. (3 marks)
问题 3：(a) 定义“活性部位”，并解释为什么用锁钥模型来描述酶的作用。(3 分)
(b) 为测量某酶催化反应在不同 pH 下的速率进行了实验。结果如下：pH 2 – 速率 2，pH 4 – 8，pH 6 – 20，pH 7 – 25，pH 8 – 24，pH 10 – 5，pH 12 – 0。用这些数据画图，并推测该酶的最适 pH。解释高于最适 pH 时曲线形状的原因。(4 分)
(c) 在不改变酶浓度的情况下，说出两种在低底物浓度时提高酶促反应速率的方法，并解释各自的原理。(3 分)
Answers and Mark Scheme:
答案与评分标准：
(a) The active site is a specific region on the surface of an enzyme where the substrate molecule binds. The lock-and-key model states that the shape of the active site is exactly complementary to the shape of the substrate, like a key fitting into a lock, allowing the enzyme to catalyse the reaction specifically.
(a) 活性部位是酶表面与底物分子结合的特定区域。锁钥模型认为，活性部位的形状与底物形状完全互补，就像钥匙插入锁一样，使酶能够特异性地催化反应。
(b) Graph should show rate on y-axis, pH on x-axis; points plotted, smooth curve drawn. Optimum pH is around 7. Above the optimum, the rate decreases sharply because the high pH disrupts hydrogen bonds and ionic interactions maintaining the enzyme's tertiary structure, leading to denaturation. The active site changes shape and can no longer bind the substrate effectively.
(b) 图应以速率为纵轴、pH 为横轴；描点并绘出平滑曲线。最适 pH 约为 7。高于最适 pH 时，速率急剧下降，因为高 pH 破坏了维持酶三级结构的氢键和离子相互作用，导致酶变性。活性部位形状改变，无法有效结合底物。
(c) 1) Increase temperature: up to the optimum, more kinetic energy leads to more frequent collisions between enzyme and substrate, increasing the rate. 2) Increase substrate concentration: more substrate molecules increase the chance of occupying available active sites, raising rate until saturation.
(c) 1) 升高温度：在最适温度前，更多动能导致酶与底物碰撞更频繁，提高速率。2) 增大底物浓度：更多底物分子增加了占据可用活性部位的概率，提高速率直至饱和。
4. Movement Across Membranes | 跨膜运输
Question 4: (a) A red blood cell is placed in a solution that causes it to shrink and become crenated. Name the type of solution and explain, using the term water potential, why the cell shrinks. (3 marks)
(b) Distinguish between diffusion and active transport. Give one example of each process occurring in a living organism. (4 marks)
(c) An experiment set up a Visking tubing 'model cell' containing starch and glucose solutions, submerged in a beaker of water with iodine. After 30 minutes, the water outside the tubing turned blue-black, but the iodine inside remained yellow-brown. Explain these observations and state the property of the membrane that allows this. (3 marks)
问题 4：(a) 将红细胞置于某溶液中，细胞皱缩并出现棘缩。说出该溶液的类型，并用“水势”一词解释细胞为何皱缩。(3 分)
(b) 区分扩散与主动运输。分别给出在活生物体中的一个例子。(4 分)
(c) 在实验中，用含有淀粉和葡萄糖溶液的 Visking 管作为“模型细胞”，将其浸入盛有碘液的水烧杯中。30 分钟后，管外的水变为蓝黑色，但管内的碘仍为黄褐色。解释这些观察结果，并说明膜的这一特性。(3 分)
Answers and Mark Scheme:
答案与评分标准：
(a) Hypertonic solution (or a solution of lower water potential than the cell). The external solution has a lower water potential than the cytoplasm of the red blood cell, so water moves out of the cell by osmosis, causing the cell to shrink.
(a) 高渗溶液（或水势低于细胞的溶液）。外部溶液的水势低于红细胞细胞质的水势，因此水通过渗透作用从细胞中流出，导致细胞皱缩。
(b) Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, down a concentration gradient, without the use of energy. Active transport is the movement of particles against a concentration gradient, using energy from ATP and carrier proteins. Example of diffusion: oxygen diffusing from the alveoli into the blood. Example of active transport: uptake of mineral ions by root hair cells from the soil.
(b) 扩散是粒子顺浓度梯度从高浓度区域向低浓度区域的净移动，不消耗能量。主动运输是逆浓度梯度输送粒子，需要载体蛋白和来自 ATP 的能量。扩散实例：氧气从肺泡扩散入血液。主动运输实例：根毛细胞从土壤中吸收矿质离子。
(c) The iodine molecules are small enough to pass through the pores of the Visking tubing, while starch molecules are too large to pass out. Therefore, iodine diffused into the tubing and reacted with starch to form the blue-black complex. The water outside became blue-black because iodine entering the tubing carried the colour, but starch remained inside. The membrane is partially permeable (or selectively permeable).
(c) 碘分子足够小，能穿过 Visking 管的孔隙，而淀粉分子太大无法逸出。因此，碘扩散进入管内并与淀粉反应生成蓝黑色复合物。管外的水变为蓝黑色是因为碘进入管中后显示颜色，而淀粉仍留在管内。该膜具有半透性（或选择透过性）。
5. Cell Division: Mitosis and Meiosis | 细胞分裂：有丝分裂与减数分裂
Question 5: (a) Name the four stages of mitosis in the correct order and describe what happens to the chromosomes during anaphase. (3 marks)
(b) Explain why meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction and how it introduces genetic variation. (4 marks)
(c) A diploid cell has 46 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will be present in each daughter cell after (i) mitosis, (ii) meiosis? Justify your answers. (2 marks)
问题 5：(a) 按正确顺序说出有丝分裂的四个阶段，并描述后期染色体会发生什么。(3 分)
(b) 解释为何减数分裂对有性生殖是必需的，以及它如何引入遗传变异。(4 分)
(c) 某二倍体细胞有 46 条染色体。经过 (i) 有丝分裂，(ii) 减数分裂后，每个子细胞中分别有多少条染色体？并说明理由。(2 分)
Answers and Mark Scheme:
答案与评分标准：
(a) Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. In anaphase, the centromeres split, and sister chromatids are pulled apart by spindle fibres towards opposite poles of the cell, becoming individual chromosomes.
(a) 前期、中期、后期、末期。在后期，着丝粒分裂，姐妹染色单体被纺锤丝拉向细胞两极，成为独立的染色体。
(b) Meiosis halves the chromosome number to produce haploid gametes, so that fertilisation restores the diploid number and maintains the species' chromosome count. Genetic variation is introduced through independent assortment of homologous chromosomes in metaphase I and crossing over between non-sister chromatids in prophase I, creating new combinations of alleles.
(b) 减数分裂将染色体数目减半，产生单倍体配子，这样受精作用可恢复二倍体数目，保持物种的染色体数稳定。遗传变异通过中期 I 同源染色体的独立分配和前期 I 非姐妹染色单体间的交叉互换引入，产生新的等位基因组合。
(c) (i) Mitosis: 46 chromosomes each, because mitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells with the same diploid number. (ii) Meiosis: 23 chromosomes each, because the chromosome number is halved to produce haploid cells.
(c) (i) 有丝分裂：每个子细胞 46 条，因为有丝分裂产生遗传相同的二倍体子细胞。(ii) 减数分裂：每个子细胞 23 条，因为染色体数目减半以形成单倍体细胞。
6. Genetics: Monohybrid Inheritance | 遗传学：单基因遗传
Question 6: In pea plants, the allele for tall stems (T) is dominant over the allele for short stems (t). (a) Define the terms 'homozygous' and 'heterozygous'. (2 marks)
(b) A plant homozygous for tallness is crossed with a short plant. Using a genetic diagram, predict the genotype and phenotype ratios of the F₁ generation. (4 marks)
(c) Two plants from the F₁ generation are crossed. Construct a Punnett square for this cross and state the expected ratio of tall to short plants in the F₂ generation. Suggest why the observed ratio might differ slightly from the expected ratio. (4 marks)
问题 6：豌豆中，高茎等位基因 (T) 对矮茎等位基因 (t) 显性。(a) 定义“纯合子”和“杂合子”。(2 分)
(b) 一株高茎纯合植株与一株矮茎植株杂交。用遗传图解预测 F₁ 代的基因型比例和表现型比例。(4 分)
(c) 将 F₁ 代的两株植株杂交。为该杂交构建庞纳特方格，并陈述 F₂ 代中高茎与矮茎的预期比例。解释观察到的比例可能与预期比例略有不同的原因。(4 分)
Answers and Mark Scheme:
答案与评分标准：
(a) Homozygous: having two identical alleles for a gene (e.g. TT or tt). Heterozygous: having two different alleles for a gene (e.g. Tt).
(a) 纯合子：某基因的两个等位基因相同（如 TT 或 tt）。杂合子：某基因的两个等位基因不同（如 Tt）。
tes: all T from tall parent, all t from short parent. F₁ offspring: all Tt (heterozygous). Genotype ratio: 100% Tt. Phenotype ratio: 100% tall, because T is dominant.
(b) 亲本基因型：TT × tt。配子：高茎亲本全为 T，矮茎亲本全为 t。F₁ 子代：全为 Tt（杂合子）。基因型比例：100% Tt。表现型比例：100% 高茎，因为 T 为显性。
(c) F₁ cross: Tt × Tt. Punnett square:
| T | t | |
| T | TT | Tt |
| t | Tt | tt |
(c) F₁ 杂交：Tt × Tt。庞纳特方格见上表。预期高茎:矮茎 = 3:1。观察到的比例可能因配子的随机结合而略有不同，即偶然性决定了哪个花粉与哪个胚珠融合；小样本量也会增加随机性的影响。
7. Evolution and Natural Selection | 进化与自然选择
Question 7: (a) State two main ideas of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. (2 marks)
(b) The development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is often used as an example of natural selection. Outline the steps by which a population of bacteria can become resistant to a specific antibiotic. (4 marks)

问题 7：(a) 陈述达尔文自然选择进化论的两个主要观点。(2 分)
(b) 细菌产生抗生素耐药性常被用作自然选择的例证。概述一个细菌种群如何对某种特定抗生素产生耐药性的步骤。(4 分)
(c) 解释为什么即使患者感觉好转，也要完成整个抗生素疗程，这为何重要。(3 分)
Answers and Mark Scheme:
答案与评分标准：
(a) 1) Within a species there is variation among individuals caused by genetic differences. 2) Individuals with characteristics better adapted to the environment are more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on their advantageous alleles to their offspring.
(a) 1) 同一物种内，个体间因基因差异而存在变异。2) 具有更能适应环境特征的个体更有可能存活、繁殖，并将有利等位基因传给后代。
(b) Initially, a population of bacteria shows genetic variation, and a few individuals may carry a mutation that makes them less susceptible to the antibiotic. When the antibiotic is applied, non-resistant bacteria are killed, but the resistant ones survive. These survivors reproduce, passing the resistance allele to their offspring. Over generations, the proportion of resistant bacteria increases, until the population is mostly resistant.
(b) 初始时，细菌种群存在遗传变异，少数个体可能携带使其对抗生素不敏感的突变。当使用抗生素时，非耐药细菌被杀死，而耐药菌存活。幸存者繁殖，将耐药等位基因传给后代。经数代后，耐药菌的比例上升，直至种群大部分为耐药菌。
(c) If a patient stops early, some bacteria may survive because the antibiotic concentration was not maintained long enough to kill them all. These survivors may be more resistant and can multiply, causing a relapse. Additionally, this selective pressure promotes the spread of resistant strains, making future treatments less effective.
(c) 如果患者提前停药，部分细菌可能存活，因为抗生素浓度维持时间不足以杀死所有细菌。这些幸存者可能更具耐药性，并大量繁殖，导致复发。此外，这种选择压力促进了耐药菌株的传播，使未来治疗效果下降。
8. Ecology: Energy Flow and Nutrient Cycles | 生态学：能量流动与物质循环
Question 8: (a) Draw a food chain containing four trophic levels, labelling each level. Explain why most food chains rarely have more than four or five trophic levels. (3 marks)
(b) Only about 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. State three ways in which energy is lost from a food chain. (3 marks)
(c) Describe the role of microorganisms in the carbon cycle, referring to both photosynthesis and respiration. (4 marks)
问题 8：(a) 画一条包含四个营养级的食物链，并标注每个营养级。解释为何大多数食物链很少有超过四到五个营养级。(3 分)
(b) 只有约 10% 的能量从一个营养级传递到下一级。列举能量在食物链中损失的三种方式。(3 分)
(c) 描述微生物在碳循环中的作用，需提及光合作用和呼吸作用。(4 分)
Answers and Mark Scheme:
答案与评分标准：
y consumer). Energy is lost at each trophic level through respiration, waste, and uneaten parts; therefore, very little energy remains to support another level beyond the fourth or fifth, making the chain unsustainable.
(a) 例子：草（生产者）→ 蚱蜢（初级消费者）→ 蛙（次级消费者）→ 蛇（三级消费者）。能量在每一营养级通过呼吸作用、排泄物和未食用部分而损失；因此，没有足够的能量支持第四或第五级之外的营养级，使得更长食物链难以维持。
(b) Energy is lost 1) through respiration as heat, 2) in undigested material that is egested as faeces, 3) in excretory products such as urea. (Accept also energy used in movement and maintaining body temperature.)
(b) 能量以 1) 通过呼吸作用以热能散失，2) 未消化物质以粪便形式排出，3) 以尿素等排泄物形式丢失。（也可接受用于运动和维持体温的能量。）
(c) In the carbon cycle, photosynthetic microorganisms (e.g. phytoplankton and cyanobacteria) fix CO₂ into organic compounds. Decomposer microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) break down dead organic matter and release CO₂ back into the atmosphere through respiration. Some microorganisms also contribute to the formation of fossil fuels under anaerobic conditions over millions of years.
(c) 在碳循环中，光合微生物（如浮游植物和蓝藻）将 CO₂ 固定为有机物。分解者微生物（细菌和真菌）分解死有机质，并通过呼吸作用将 CO₂ 释放回大气中。某些微生物还在缺氧条件下经历数百万年促成化石燃料的形成。
